Olivia stared at Sophie with red, teary eyes. She quickly shook Sophie’s hands off and walked away.
The moment she did that, Just then, the maid entered the shop and called out, “Ms. Olivia.” Hearing her, Olivia
glanced at the maid, who had gone back to the car earlier to get Olivia's jacket because it was cold inside the
mall.
Seeing the shattered pieces of plates on the floor and the tense situation, the maid asked worriedly,” What
happened here?” She rushed over to check on Olivia, asking, “Are you okay?”
Olivia was surprised to see the maid right then and didn’t answer immediately. Her hand, held by the maid, was
trembling.
Jacob looked over at the maid with a mocking expression. “Is she from the Jones family? | don’t think I've seen
her before,” he commented.
Sophie was puzzled by his question, also wondering why the maid, who didn’t seem like a regular one, was with
Olivia. It almost looked like she was there to look after her.
Olivia, fearing the maid might address her too formally and draw more attention, quickly said, “I'm fine. Let's
go.”
She left without looking back, and the maid followed, calling after her, “Why are you walking so fast?

Be careful!”
Olivia didn’t stop or look back, not hearing the maid's concern.
Sophie wanted to follow Olivia, but Jacob stopped her, saying, “Don’t.”
Confused, she looked at him.
“That's the Harris family’s maid, right?” he asked.
Sophie looked at the departing maid, unsure why Jacob was so interested in her. “I don’t know her. Why do you
ask?” she replied.
Jacob then let go of Sophie’s hand and, trying to lighten the mood, said, “Nothing. Let's enjoy our date. This is
your favorite dessert place, after all.”
Sophie, still worried about Olivia, asked, “Shouldn't we explain things to her?”
“No need. We don’t owe anyone an explanation. | like you, and that’s what matters,” Jacob reassured
her.
Despite feeling uneasy and guilty, Sophie was touched by his words and couldn't help but hold his hand. “Okay.”
Jacob chuckled at her affectionate gesture and led her to the dessert shop. Sophie thought to herself, ‘I'm sorry,
Olivia. I just... like Jacob so much.”
Chapter 207
After leaving the dessert shop, Olivia just kept walking. The maid tried to follow her but couldn't keep up and
eventually lost sight of her.
Looking around the huge mall, the maid searched everywhere but couldn't find Olivia. Feeling worried, she called
out, “Ms. Olivia!”
Olivia, on the other hand, didn’t really know where she had ended up. She was just walking in a daze, not paying
attention to her surroundings.
Back at the dessert shop, Sophie and Jacob were having a good tuntil Sophie felt something was off. She
decided to text Claude to tell him what had happened.
Just then, the maid who had been chasing Olivia cback, out of breath. “Do you have Ms. Olivia's phone
number?”
Sophie stood up immediately, concerned. “I do! What happened?”
The maid, who didn’t have her phone with her, anxiously said, “I've lost her. Could you call her for me?” In her
panic, she didn’t call her ‘Ms. Olivia.’
“I'll call my brother.” Worried Olivia might not answer, Sophie called her brother Claude instead.

After hanging up, she reassured the maid, “My brother will get in touch with Olivia. Don’t worry.”
However, the maid felt that wasn’t enough. “Please letuse your phone to make a call.”
Sophie had no idea who the maid wanted to call but handed over her phone anyway.
The maid made a quick call and returned the phone to Sophie in a hurry, thanking her before rushing
off.
Sophie wanted to go after her, but Jacob grabbed her hand, saying, “She’ll be okay, someone will find
her.”
She was still hesitating when she heard that.
Jacob slid his hand along her arm. “It’s our first date today. Do you want it ruined just like that?”
Sophie put her concerns behind and turned her attention to him.
He glanced at her, guiding her back to the table before placing the menu before her. “Didn't you say you love
desserts? Let's order.”
She smiled happily. “Okay...”
Determined not to waste their rare date, Sophie put aside her worries about Olivia and focused on ordering the
dessert she craved.
